IEC62368-1 Annex T.6 Pendulum and Vertical Drop Sphere Impact Test Equipment

1. Introduction

The pendulum and vertical sphere impact test equipment is designed and manufactured according to the requirements of IEC60601-1 clause 15.3.3, IEC60950-1 clause 4.4.5 and Figure 4A, IEC60598-1 clause 4.13.4, IEC62368-1 Appendix clause T.6 and Figure T.1, IEC61010-1 clause 8.2 and Figure 10. Different steel balls can be configured according to different standard requirements. The equipment can provide both pendulum sphere impact and vertical drop sphere impact. This tester uses the principle of electromagnet attraction to attract various steel balls, and releases or attracts the test steel balls through the magnetic release or attraction generated by the on and off power of the electromagnet to achieve drop ball impact. The pendulum ball is raised by a steel rope, and the impact energy generated by the height difference is quantified to provide the pendulum ball impact energy required for the test. The default configuration of the drop ball impact tester is Φ50mm steel ball, and the Φ50.8mm steel ball required by the UL standard is optional. Because stainless steel balls are non-magnetic, the configured steel balls are bearing steel balls. Please pay attention to grease them for maintenance to avoid rust.
